Program Support
The Comprehensive Eviction and Defense Diversion program, which will be available in state court districts, will help to keep renters stably housed by providing tenants with no-cost housing support services and financial support. Under the CEDD program, tenants will have access to caseworkers, known as resource navigators, who are trained in addressing housing insecurity and preventing housing displacement. Caseworkers, who will have experience in crisis intervention techniques, will assist tenants by providing relocation and rapid rehousing support, social services support, and rental assistance resources support. Additionally, tenants will be able to access financial support from the CEDD program to cover expenses related to eviction-related emergencies, including help with past due rent, relocation expenses, and legal services.
To provide a comprehensive and efficient defense against eviction to at-risk low-income renter households by interconnecting two best practices in eviction prevention - resource navigation and diversion along with expanded access to legal advice or representation - into one stronger, more flexible, better coordinated, and immediate wrap - around intervention.
Eligible tenants facing or threatened with eviction are paired up with resource navigators for social services support, case management and immediate problem-solving intervention including but not limited too, flexible direct client financial assistance and with access to counsel for quality brief legal advice or legal representation.
